ROADSHOW ELEMENTS
COALITION PARTNERS
FAQThe Sustainable Living Roadshow is a new paradigm in entertainment, education, media and business. It is designed to celebrate practical solutions to global and environmental issues created by our modern energy and food systems.
The intention of the tour is to introduce communities to sustainable living strategies such as bio-regionalism, renewable energy, sustainable food systems, and community development while validating and promoting existing local efforts. Through pre-coordination, the tour orchestrates opportunities and creates participation that infuses these local ventures with new information and increased awareness at the surrounding campuses and communities. Collectively, workshops, entertainment and service projects empower youth and community members toward meaningful participation, both local and global. The events feature evening celebrations to broaden outreach, share messages and encourage participation from a diverse array of audiences.
Additionally, SLR is developing advance web 2.0 strategies to create social networks; large scale media distribution through downloadable videos, PODcasts, pictures and more; live web-feeds of events; and we are in communication with several networks to pick the SLR up as a national television series. Our strategy includes utilizing as many existing platforms of media distribution and social networking to make these ideas spread virally in existing communities.

- Inspiring people to want to live healthier, more in tune with the earth and with each other.
- Introducing and integrating all aspect of "sustainable living" into people consciousness through creatively identifying and introducing community strategies, products, services, and support which promote these ideas.
- Empowering people with the information, steps and tools necessary to adapt to the changes we all need to acknowledge and adjust to.
